Bebe sorry to hear our MS is playing up, I have fingers crossed for you for the financial news.

12 wk scan is on the 31st so 2 weeks tomorrow. Still having trouble believing it is real/it will all go right. Just trying to plod through the weeks and not dwell on it at the moment - hard when I am making a show at the moment about motherhood and its all we talk about in rehearsal ALL DAY!

Quod, glad that the scan was reassuring. When will you get the next one?

I'm feeling a bit wobbly at the moment. Think my MS is playing up a bit and had a rubbish episode of Vertigo which is improving slowly. There is a glimmer of light on the horizon for us financially, not getting too excited though....been here before!

So I've bought myself another year without the drugs as far as the doctors are concerned! I know it's ultimately MY decision, they always say 'no pressure' but then the way they say things is loaded with pressure and designed to guilt trip you into taking the drugs! [cynical] The day I had built myself up to 'the talk' ended up being the day DH came home from work in a complete state and frantic about money! <sigh> so I chickened out!

He never thinks past next week let alone thinking about the next 5 years! Tis really grinding me down!

It wasn't so much the separate school runs (although that would be tricky as potentially DDs secondary school could be half hours drive away) more having two children starting at new schools at the same time! (DH doesn't drive ) There is also the ever increasing age gap to consider, at the moment DD is very keen on the idea of a sibling, the longer she has to establish herself as an only the harder I anticipate the adjustment (considering her personality!!) I tend to think about practicalities and impact on us as a FAMILY, DH only ever looks at it from how it will affect HIM! DD is already starting to do activities that could potentially be tricky to cope with with another child to think about too. As you can tell my head is spinning, desperately want another baby but I think if it doesn't happen by next year we will have missed the boat.

No idea! Some days I think he's quite keen & some days it feels like he will never want another baby! Financially things are no better and that's his biggest reason against it! I've been crunching numbers in my head and worked out that if we have a baby after DD starts year 2 (after her 6 birthday NEXT year) then it'll put a lot of pressure on as DC2 will be starting school when DD is in year 6 which is important for her. But if we have a child when she starts year 3 by the time DC2 starts school DD will be going to a different school which would be a nightmare! It all seems such a long way off but there are very real practical implications to the timing of it all!

Thanks Bebe! Yes we are in, a day late thanks to a shyster removals company who cancelled on us leaving us stranded amongst piles of boxes! Luckily we were rescued by a collection of our lovely friends, and now happily in our new home, which is (after me being terrified about not liking it for the last two months) shaping up to be a lovely place.

Where is Dh's head about TTC these days? Do you think he has softened about it at all?

Quiet squeal!!! <whispers> Yay! Sending sticky vibes to you Quod! Good luck with the house move! Hopefully you will be all unpacked soon and won't have full boxes still stashed away several years later like we do!

My mum just text me to say that one of my friends from back home (her parents are friends with my mum) is 12 weeks PG. (They aren't telling people yet) I feel a bit weird about it really. Mostly because knowing someone in RL is PG only reminds me that I'm not! But also because she was my maid of honour and the very first person I told that I was PG, even before I told my mum! I need to have 'the conversation' with DH again, before Weds! I have a hospital appt and they are going to ask me what I want to do about medication.......I just don't know!

Hello all - wow it is quiet in here these days! Just quietly popping in to quietly whisper that I have had another BFP - am about 5 weeks. Too difficult to take it in really (we are also moving house this weekend which is insanely stressful) but we'll see, hopefully this one will stick...

Have antibiotics for a chest (and possible ear) infection. Feel crap! Also seem to have permanent sinus headache. Feeling very miserable and deaf in my left ear currently! Hoping the drugs kick in soon!
